What causes high levels of squamous epithelial cells and non-squamous epithelial cells?

Elevated squamous epithelial cells may be caused by urinary tract infections or cervical cancer, while elevated non-squamous epithelial cells may result from conditions such as urinary stones or urethritis. Actual causes vary among individuals. Detailed analysis is as follows:

I. Elevated Squamous Epithelial Cells

1. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

Urinary tract infections are usually caused by bacterial or fungal infections. Patients commonly experience symptoms such as painful urination and frequent urination. Some patients may show elevated levels of squamous epithelial cells during examination. Treatment may include medications such as amoxicillin capsules or levofloxacin capsules, taken under a doctor's guidance.

2. Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is typically caused by viral infections, frequent sexual activity, and other factors. If diagnosed with cervical cancer, patients may experience vaginal bleeding and increased vaginal discharge. In some severe cases, elevated squamous epithelial cells may appear in urine test results. Treatment options include procedures such as cervical conization or radical hysterectomy, performed under medical supervision.

II. Elevated Non-Squamous Epithelial Cells

1. Urinary Stones

Long-term poor dietary habits can lead to urinary stones. These stones may cause abrasions and local adhesions, leading to shedding of non-squamous epithelial cells, thus resulting in elevated non-squamous epithelial cells in urine tests. It is recommended to seek hospital treatment, possibly through stone removal surgery.

2. Urethritis

Unhygienic sexual practices may lead to urethritis, causing discomfort during urination and urinary abnormalities. Such patients may show elevated non-squamous epithelial cells during urine testing. Treatment may include medications such as penicillin V potassium tablets or doxycycline hydrochloride tablets, taken under a doctor’s guidance.
